Oldsmobile/Buick Repair: Electric cooling fan, electric cooling fan, relay switch


Question
I have a 1994 Olds Achevia with a 2.3L OHC engine. The cooling fan has stopped working. The first thing I checked was the fan, which is fine, but there is no voltage getting to the fan. Where is the relay switch and temp sensor located, so I can check those as well?

Thanks!


Answer
The fan is usually controlled via the vehicles computer then to the FAN RELAY of which is mounted in the engine compartment on the realy bracket with other relays. I do NOT have a 94 Olds book to tell me exactly which relay it is, but there are usually marked on the plastic covering for the relay panel.

Every year they change the location of these relays and without the book it is impossible to say exactly where it is.
